Why did NBAA develop FERMS?
FERMS will do for quantifying aircraft reliability and maintainability what NBAA’s Range Formats (NBAA IFR reserves) do in standardizing aircraft performance. FERMS dispatch reliability and operational availability definitions create an “apples-to-apples” comparison between manufacturers’ data and that of real-world flight operations. Operators today collect data for unscheduled maintenance events, as well as routine maintenance. Collecting this data at an industry-central point will facilitate continuous aircraft surveillance for maintenance programs and aircraft reliability. This factual data will serve to validate reliability and maintenance programs, bringing about timely response to maintenance and operational issues. Dispatch reliability and operational availability measures will be reported in percent and event per hour and landings. For aircraft manufacturers, FERMS data will not only validate existing maintenance programs, but will assist service engineering in identifying cor
